First time in February 2012 organized Red Pearl women’s clown festival brought world-renowned female clowns to Finland and Sweden.

Most clowns have traditionally been male, but this festival serve as a reminder that first-class female clowns can be found in the Nordic countries and all over the world.

Meet fame-loving Sophie Withman, immigrant Ayşe (who encounters the Paper Creature), gynecologist Dr. Freon diving into a patient’s womb, couture poet Puella Eterna, and the aging Julieta! But what happens in the laboratory, and will the murder mystery be solved?

Explore the diverse program and come see the entire amazing lineup with a ticket package! Keep scrolling to learn more about the performances. The majority of performances are non-verbal or in English.
